Color Options from American Patchwork & Quilting December 2010
Half & Half
A single star block split diagonally by color is rotated to create an intricate design.
Half & Half Color Option
Two-Tone Star Table Runner
Quilt tester Laura Boehnke amped up the contrast in her version of Half & Half by using black and white batiks from Hoffman California Fabrics for a graphic, gift-worthy table runner. With block placement similar to the original, she created the illusion of diagonal stripes. A narrower (2-3/4" cut) middle border better matches the proportions of her smaller quilt.
Half & Half Staff Color Option
Pieced Pot Holder
If someone on your gift list loves to cook, whip up a pot holder, such as the one staff writer Maria Charbonneaux made using the Joy Basket and Morning Call collections by Hoodie for Blank Quilting.
Box of Chocolates
No matter which way you turn it, this quilt is full of surprises. Two alternating blocks create the illusion of squares set on point.
Box of Chocolates Color Option
Squares and Stars Tabletop Quilt
Quilt tester Laura Boehnke shows what Box of Chocolates looks like with border. She cut a 2-1/4"-wide border from a black print that accentuates the inner frames of the B blocks. While bold complementary orange and blue prints make the on-point pattern emerge, multicolor prints from the Enchanted Rainforest collection from Maywood Studio help tie everything together.

Batik Table Runner
An extra-long table runner is a thoughtful gift for a friend who loves to entertain. Design director Nancy Wiles alternated three A blocks and two B blocks made in batiks from the Ceylon and Taffy collections from Hoffman California Fabrics in a row to make a 60"-long topper.
It Takes Two
We challenged mother-daughter duo Bonnie Olaveson & Camille Roskelley to explore the possibilities of their latest jointly designed fabric collection.
It Takes Two Color Options
Whimsical Windmills Quilt
Quilt tester Laura Boehnke gives this windmill-style quilt a colorful spin with playful fabrics from Kathy York's Urban Landscapes collection for Clothworks (left). She replaced the ivory sashing with a bold turquoise print for more defined rows. By alternating blue and yellow for the block backgrounds, she visually connected the Louisiana and triangle-square blocks.
Dutchman's Puzzle Block
A big-block design is perfect for showcasing novelty prints, such as the Calico Kitty collection from Timeless Treasures (right). To keep the quick-to-piece baby quilt from looking too busy, quilt tester Laura Boehnke paired the larger prints with small-scale florals and dots. As a nod to the original's ample use of solid white, Laura used a light print for the background.
It Takes Two Staff Color Options
Louisiana Block Canvas Prints
Create easy artwork to match a recipient's decor by mounting three Louisiana quilt blocks to pre-stretched canvases (left). Senior editor Elizabeth Tisinger used fabrics from the Oasis collection by Paintbrush Studio for Fabri-Quilt.
Flying Geese Pillowcase
Get in the giving spirit by making pillowcases for your favorite charity as part of our 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge. Senior editor Elizabeth Tisinger used fabrics from The Antiquity Collection for Michael Miller Fabrics (right). Visit AllPeopleQuilt.com/pillowcases to learn more about pillowcase construction and the 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge.
Oak Leaf Medallion
Surround a lush, autumnal motif with five intricate borders featuring Square-in-a-Square units, Album blocks, and skillfully cut stripes.
Oak Leaf Medallion Color Option
Tropical Medallion Wall Hanging
With two fewer borders, Oak Leaf Medallion still turns heads. Quilt tester Laura Boehnke lightened up the look with fabrics from the Paradise collection by Audrey Jeanne Roberts for Studio E Fabrics. For a quirky twist, she fussy-cut tropical birds from the outer border to showcase in Square-in-a-Square blocks in the middle border.
Oak Leaf Medallion Staff Color Option
Medallion Throw Pillow
While interactive editor Lisa Schumacher used a similar color palette as Laura for her appliquéd medallion, she turned her take on Oak Leaf Medallion into a large throw pillow to give as a gift. Fabrics are from the Felicity collection by Emily Taylor for Riley Blake Designs.
Urban Amish
Give a contemporary spin to a classic Double Nine-Patch block using solids and mottled fabrics in a limited color palette.
Urban Amish Color Option
Holiday Double Nine-Patch Quilt
Instead of solids and mottled fabrics, quilt tester Laura Boehnke used an array of small-scale prints from the Holidays At Home collection by Faye Burgos for Marcus Fabrics to create Double Nine-Patch blocks for a scrappy-looking Urban Amish throw quilt. By adding a novelty bird print in some of the blocks, she subtly re-created the asymmetrical look of the original. Laura cut a stripe on the diagonal to create an inner border with plenty of movement.
Urban Amish Staff Color Option
Double Nine-Patch Journal Cover
A reusable fabric cover for a standard composition notebook is a gift that keeps on giving. For the journal cover, design director Nancy Wiles used Jennifer Paganelli's Poodle collection for FreeSpirit to piece two Double Nine-Patch blocks, two setting triangles, and four corner triangles into a rectangle.
Country Garden
Clusters of small squares and raw-edge appliqués form the centerpiece of a flower-patch-inspired quilt.
Country Garden Color Option
Lollipop Flowers Wall Hanging
For a whimsical wall hanging, quilt tester Laura Boehnke pieced one middle border row of the original, sewed a pink print 13x33-1/2" rectangle to the top, then added four corner blocks. She made longer bias stems and embellished the lollipop-style blooms with rickrack and buttons. Fabrics are from the Berkshire collection by Jeannine Bach for Blue Hill Fabrics.
Country Garden Staff Color Option
Appliquéd Tea Towel
For a quick gift, embellish a purchased tea towel with appliquéd flowers and hand embroidery in coordinating colors. Editor Jill Mead used Kaffe Fassett's Shot Cottons collection for the flower appliqués and cut a bottom border from his Ombre collection. Both Fassett collections are from Westminster Fabrics.
Happy Holidays
Whimsical holly appliqués and prairie points in an array of prints give this festive table topper seasonal cheer.
Happy Holidays Color Options
Assistant editor Jody Sanders and quilt tester Laura Boehnke demonstrate how Happy Holidays can take on two different looks.
Autumn Prairie Points Table Topper
Laura used the Harvest Reflections collection from Benartex for a decidedly autumn-inspired wall hanging (left) fit for a nature lover. The prairie points mimic the fern fronds in the predominant print.

Reproduction-Print Table Topper
Jody gathered fabrics from her stash of reproduction prints and skipped the prairie points and holly appliqués to create a scrappy quilt (right) with a multicolor palette that allows for year-round display.
Happy Holidays Staff Color Option
Handmade Gift Bag
Make the presentation as fun as what's inside! Senior graphic designer Elizabeth Stumbo used the holly leaf patterns and a trio of buttons to add adorable appliqué to a lunch sack gift bag. Before sewing the bag lining to the outer body, she added prairie points between the layers to create festive fringe.
Small Steps
Take your time and utilize your stash to create an heirloom Courthouse Steps quilt from 1"-wide strips.
Small Steps Color Option
Batik Courthouse Steps
Small Steps is stunning made in purple batiks from the Artisan Batiks: Blossom 2, Elementals: Botanical, and Elementals: Lots of Dots collections by Lunn Studios for Robert Kaufman. For more striking contrast between blocks, quilt tester Laura Boehnke used dark strips for all sides of the B blocks. "I like how the resulting pattern resembles ikat," she says.
Small Steps Staff Color Option
Pincushion Cube
Executive editor Jennifer Keltner created a supersize pincushion using fabrics from the Golden Afternoon collection from Connecting Threads. She joined the edges of four Courthouse Steps blocks, stopping and starting seams 1/4" from the corners, to make a tube. She added blocks to the open edges of the pieced tube, leaving an opening along a bottom edge, to make a cube. After turning the cube right side out, she added fiberfill and a pouch filled with crushed walnut shells for weight, then slip-stitched the opening closed.

In the US, fully half of the water withdrawn from sources such as lakes and aquifers ends up being used for generating electricity. Most of that water is converted to steam, cooled, and returned to its original source. Even in those cases, however, losses during the cooling process reduce the total amount of water available.
The end result is that electricity generation competes with other potential uses for the water. In cases of severe drought, power generation may end up losing, reducing the amount of electricity we can generate. This situation is a problem given that climate change is expected to exacerbate droughts in a number of regions of the US.
To find out how much of a problem this can be, three MIT researchers have looked into the balance between water use and carbon emissions, using the Texas power grid as their test tube. Their model shows that taking carbon emissions into account is bad news for coal, but limiting water use essentially forces coal off the grid. While nuclear looks great for limiting carbon emissions, its heavy water requirements cut down on its role when both factors are considered.
Currently, most US facilities use what are called open-loop or once-through cooling. In these systems, water is removed from a source, used for energy generation (e.g., heated and used as steam), and then cooled and returned to the original source at a higher temperature. Although a majority of the water is immediately put back into circulation, these systems have a fairly high rate of loss.
There are a number of alternative approaches that require far less water to be extracted. The simplest is closed-loop, which passively cools the water in the facility and uses it again. Dry cooling, which uses air to actively cool the water, requires more in the way of both up-front construction costs and ongoing operating costs. Hybrid systems use both of these approaches, but they have even larger up-front costs. All of them require periodic withdrawals of water due to losses, but they end up requiring far less to be withdrawn for a given period of activity than an open-loop system would.
Different types of energy production can use the different technologies to various degrees. For example, natural gas can be used to heat water in a traditional boiler plant, or the hot exhaust gasses can be used to drive turbines directly, significantly limiting the amount of water involved. Current nuclear plants have cooling towers designed to lower the water's temperature before returning it to the environment; these could instead be merged with air cooling to create hybrid, closed-loop cooling systems.
The authors considered the Texas grid of 2050 since all existing generating capacity would be expected to be replaced by then anyway, allowing them to work with a blank canvas (albeit one with a larger electricity demand than the present). They considered three different scenarios: business as usual, a 75 percent reduction of carbon emissions, and the same 75 percent emissions reduction coupled to a 50 percent reduction in water used while generating electricity.
With no restrictions, the grid of 2050 looks a lot like it does today: mostly coal and natural gas, with a healthy chunk of nuclear. In fact, because the authors seem to be looking only at costs largely as they exist in the near future, wind is largely left out of this scenario, even though it already accounts for a substantial fraction of Texas' generating capacity. In fact, even with heavy carbon restrictions, the percentage of wind barely budges—instead, most of the coal is displaced by nuclear. Photovoltaics are effectively missing.
(If this seems unreasonable to you, it does to us as well—more on that in a moment.)
Adding water limits turns the whole thing upside down. Nuclear power use drops dramatically, and most of the remaining generation capacity is linked to a hybrid closed-loop system despite their high costs. The vast majority of electricity is generated by some form of natural gas, most of which doesn't use water at all. Here, wind finally makes an appearance, although only at five percent of the total capacity. Even though, like wind, photovoltaics use no water to generate their electricity, they have almost no presence in this scenario.
Is any of this realistic? Not entirely. Nuclear plants require huge capital outlays for years before they generate power; in an era of cheap natural gas, we're not likely to see many being constructed. And the authors found essentially no presence of wind systems, while Texas is already seeing times where wind is approaching 30 percent of the electricity feeding into the grid—and the Department of Energy is expecting the cost of installing wind systems to drop further in the upcoming years.
All of which suggests that there is something seriously amiss with the economic assumptions in the authors' model.
Nevertheless, the study highlights a real challenge. Texas recently experienced its worst drought on record, and climate change is expected to put a strain on the water supply of several regions in the US. The prospect of a competition between electricity and other water uses—or an actual shortage of water for generation purposes—isn't out of the question in the coming decades. Any plans for making the US energy economy sustainable had better consider it, which will hopefully motivate a more detailed look at the challenge.

Two women arrested for 'premeditated murder'
SISKIYOU COUNTY – The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) has made two arrests in connection to the homicide of 34-year-old Medford, Ore. resident Michael Christopher MacCallum, whose body was found in the rural Applegate Creek area north of Hilt on Nov. 20.
According to a SCSO press release, Amber Lubbers, 27, and the victim's wife Patricia MacCallum, 26, were arrested Friday evening in the Medford area for the "premeditated murder" of MacCallum.
Both women are being held in the Jackson County Jail until they are extradited to California for criminal proceedings in Siskiyou County, stated the release.
Jackson County and Medford authorities assisted SCSO detectives in making the arrests.
"These arrests resulted from an exhaustive and extensive criminal investigative effort conducted by SCSO detectives and assisting agencies from the Siskiyou County District Attorney's Investigative Unit, Jackson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO), Oregon State Police and Medford Police Department. JCSO and SCSO SAR (Search and Rescue) teams also participated in the crime scene search," stated the release.
The body was discovered after Jackson County and SCSO SAR personnel responded to the area when MacCallum's family members reported him missing. MacCallum had been on a camping trip.
Authorities recovered the victim at the base of a steep cliff in the Applegate Creek area, which is located near the Oregon/California border.
Evidence located at the scene and the suspicious nature of the death prompted SCSO investigators to initiate a homicide investigation. SCSO detectives worked for several days developing investigative leads and talking to family members and associates of MacCallum to reconstruct his activities prior to his death.
A crime scene investigation was conducted in the area where the victim was located and an autopsy was completed on Saturday, Nov. 24. The autopsy confirmed that MacCallum had suffered a shotgun wound.
"On behalf of the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office, I would like to extend our condolences, thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Mr. MacCallum in the aftermath of his senseless and tragic death," stated Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey in the release.
Citizens with any further information about this incident are urged to contact the SCSO at the 24-hour dispatch number at 841-2900.

Visions of Sustainable Development: Theory and Action
Florida, USA, May 20-22, 2015
The XII International Colloquium took place in Gainesville, Florida, USA at the Levin College of Law at the University of Florida, from May 20-22, 2015. The selected theme was: Visions of Sustainable Development: Theory and Action. This meeting was organized by the University of Florida (UF), the University of Brasilia (UnB), and the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS).
The recent global financial and economic crisis has underscored the fact that despite significant increases in income and other "development" indicators in many parts of the world in the last fifty years, or so, the appropriate paths to development require serious rethinking. The rapid growth of the financial sector in the global economy has made economies fragile. Increases in inequality seem to be making societies more unjust and unstable. The problem of global warming continues to be major threat for the future.
At the XI International Colloquium in Brasilia last May, a widely shared consensus emerged that incremental changes in economic theory and policy will not be sufficient to address the pressing problems confronting humanity today and to leverage our collective economic potential for the welfare of all humanity. A new paradigm, that includes a conceptual framework in economic theory akin to the transition which occurred in Physics early in the 20th century, is needed.
This colloquium encouraged contributions about alternative visions of sustainable development and explored alternative economic theories that more effectively translate economic activity into sustainable models of economic security and equitable development for humanity as a whole. It examined current concepts and premises in the light of the rapid and radical changes that have transformed economic activity. It looked at the changes since the period in which most prevalent concepts were formulated to assess their relevance to the knowledge based globalized service economy emerging in the 21 century. Additionally, it examined the need for formulation of value-based trans-disciplinary science of society that effectively integrates economics with politics, law, society, culture and ecology. Special emphasis were placed on the challenges confronted by States in Transition.
The Colloquium included presentations on the inter-relationship of economic development and the problems of democracy and global power. It also generated specific contexts where the challenges of transition and sustainable development are explored. Papers projected appropriate dimensions of decision and policy for policy intervention at all levels including the global, national, community and personal levels, for an improved human prospect. For general orientation see Towards a Global Comprehensive Context-driven and Decision-focused Theory and Method for a New Political Economy, Winston P. Nagan and Valeen Arena in CADMUS Volume 2, Number 2, May 2014 [paper delivered at the XI International Colloquium].
The successful experience of the first International Colloquium, in 1997, was on "Money, Growth, Distribution and Structural Change: Contemporaneous Analysis", that coincided with the foundation of PhD Program in Economics at the University of Brasilia (UnB). It was an outstanding meeting with the presence of many fine scholars from Brazil and the larger world community.
The 1999 International Colloquium on "Economic Dynamics and Economic Policy" which was the result of the consolidation of efforts to stimulate and sustain a critical dialogue, continued to develop these critical themes leading to a series of colloquia that followed. These include the 2001 International Colloquium on "Structural Change, Growth and Redistribution" and the 2003 International Colloquium on "Globalization, New Technologies and Economic Relations," both held in Brasilia, with the support of the UnB and other institutions and had the presence of scholars from various countries around the world.
Subsequent to this initial effort at UnB, the event took on its intercontinental projection with the organization of the 2005 Colloquium in Treviso, Italy. This was a joint effort of the University of Brasilia and the PRINT-PROJECT, which included several Italian universities, on the theme "Dynamic Capabilities between Firm Organization and Systems of Production." A selection of papers from this Colloquium were later published by Routledge International Publishers in January 2008. The VI International Colloquium was organized in 2007, once again by the University of Brasilia. The theme was "Macrodynamic Capability and Economic Development". The emphasis of the colloquium was on socioeconomic policies towards growth and distribution, dubbed in the literature as "Development with a Human Face". In 2010 the VII International Colloquium was successfully organized under the theme of "Getting out of the Current Economic Crisis: In the Light of Alternative Development Paradigms" by CEPN of the University of Paris 13 and the Department of Economics of the University of Brasilia. It took place at the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme, at the University of Paris Nord and attracted worldwide attention. The VIII International Colloquium, held in Ireland in May 2011, entitled "Economic Growth, Structural Change and Institutions" was organized jointly by the Department of Economics of the University of Brasilia and J. E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics of the National University of Ireland, in Galway. It attracted an excellent group of scholars and dealt with important contemporary economic policy issues.
In 2012, the IX International Colloquium took place at the Schumpeter Centre of the University of Graz, Austria, in collaboration with the University of Brasilia. The event produced contributions towards better understanding of "Inequality and its Persistence". The main objective of the meeting was to provide a platform for productive exchanges of analysis and research results focusing on the theoretical and policy aspects of the inequality theme. The colloquium also aimed to stimulate an exchange of ideas across fields of inquiry from within the discipline of economic science, as well as in related disciplines. It reinforced a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of political economy.
In May, 2013, the X International Colloquium took place in the Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão (ISEG) in Lisbon, Portugal, in collaboration with the University of Brasilia (UnB). The theme was "Power Distribution in The World Economy: New Challenges". It was concerned with new challenges of the world economy, the distribution of power between different groups in the national and global economies and throughout different countries of the world. Changes in the distribution of power have arguably had a major impact on the economic performance worldwide in recent years. The event was very successful with the presence of several fine scholars, from both academic and public sector administrators.
In May, 2014, the XI International Colloquium again took take place in Brasília. It was a return to its origin after a long period abroad. The selected theme was "Global Crisis and Changes of Paradigms: Current Issues". Growth, distribution, inflation, trade and employment, have been some of the main concerns of macroeconomic theories, yet few economists foresaw the scale of the financial and economic crisis from 2008, and few have been able to propose alternative economic paradigms to respond to it. The main objective of the Colloquium was to provide a platform for a productive exchange of ideas, theories and policies in order to identify such paradigm shifts and better inform policies for both national and global governance. The main conclusions of the meeting were that more than a single event creates a stimulating international research network focusing on effective timely contributions to shape new thinking so that humanity can escape the multiple crises that currently affects society. The event had as sponsors the University of Brasilia (UnB), the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS), the Rio Branco Institute (Ministry of External Relations), and the International Celso Furtado Center for Development Policies. Backgrounds articles outlining salient features of the event have been published in the WAAS's Cadmus Journal and a selected number of papers presented in the Colloquium was published in the January 2015 issue of Review of Keynesian Economics.

In the decade-plus history of the modern patent troll, perhaps none other has received as much attention from the government as MPHJ Technologies. The notorious "scanner trolls" began sending out threatening letters to small businesses late last year. The letters insist that anyone using a common office scanner was violating its patents and needed to pay up, to the tune of up to $1,200 per worker.
The MPHJ campaign, led by the Texas law firm Farney Daniels, has become quickly notorious. It's been mentioned by more than one member of Congress looking to reform the patent system.
Targeting small businesses has also generated push-back from an unprecedented source: state attorneys general. First, the Vermont attorney general sued MPHJ, saying that it violated state consumer protection laws. In that state, the patent-licensing company sent demand letters to at least two non-profits, including one that helps developmentally disabled adults. Next, Nebraska's AG told the company to back off.
Now Minnesota's Attorney General, Lori Swanson, has become the third to take action against MPHJ. Her office has negotiated an unprecedented order forcing MPHJ to stay out of her state altogether.
"Patent trolls shake down small businesses to pay 'license fees' they may not owe to avoid threats of costly litigation," said Attorney General Swanson.
"Under the Assurance of Discontinuance, which is believed to be the first settlement of its kind in the nation between an Attorney General and patent troll, MPHJ Technology must cease its patent enforcement campaign in the State of Minnesota and cannot resume such business activities in Minnesota without the permission of the Attorney General," reads a statement from Swanson's office. "The settlement also prevents MPHJ Technology from assigning its patents to anyone who does not agree to be bound by these terms."
As in Vermont and Nebraska, the legal justification for going after MPHJ was that it was violating state consumer-protection laws. The AG's statement notes that some businesses are likely to take licenses to avoid the cost of litigation, even if they aren't infringing a patent.
Swanson also acknowledged that while her office may keep MPHJ away from Minnesota, the problem is bigger than just one aggressive licensor, and needs to be solved on a national level.
"While this settlement and court order may affect one patent troller, the practice of 'patent trolling' will continue until Congress enacts laws to prohibit such activity," said Swanson.
UPDATE: A spokesman for MPHJ lawyer Bryan Farney noted: "It's important to note that the agreement does not restrict MPHJ's right to bring patent infringement suits against Minnesota companies. The agreement does provide that for its future licensing or infringement inquiry letters to Minnesota companies that MPHJ will first provide them to the AG for review and consent."
He added that MPHJ welcomes the Minnesota review process, and the questions regard the form of MPHJ's licensing letters, "not the substance."

How does reading help your writing? Here's an answer from Mortimer J. Adler's classic How to Read a Book (discussed at more length in an earlier post today, May 23, 2007, on One-Minute Book Reviews):
"Writing and reading are reciprocal, as are teaching and being taught …
"Nevertheless, although the rules are reciprocal, they are not followed in the same way. The reader tries to uncover the skeleton that the book conceals. The author starts with the skeleton and tries to cover it up. His aim is to conceal the skeleton artistically or, in other words, to put flesh on the bare bones. If he is a good writer, he does not bury a puny skeleton under a mass of fat; on the other hand, neither should the flesh be too thin, so that the bones show through. If the flesh is thick enough, and if flabbiness is avoided, the joints will be detectible and the motion of parts will reveal articulation."
From How to Read a Book: Revised and Updated Edition (Simon & Schuster, 1972). By Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren.
Comment by Janice Harayda:
All those of us who teach writing urge our students not just to write but to read — ideally, every day. This quote explains, as pithily as I've seen it explained, why both are important. One of the best ways to improve your writing if you can't write every day is to read every day.
If you enjoy these quotes, please bookmark this site or subscribe to the RSS feed. The Quotes of the Day appear often but, most weeks, not every day. All of the quotes are intended to enhance your enjoyment of reading of the books reviewed on this site and elsewhere.

Mr. Arnold was the moderator for the Forum's discussion on The Aging Workforce.
NPR correspondent Chris Arnold is based in Boston. His reports are heard regularly on NPR's award-winning newsmagazines Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Weekend Edition. He joined NPR in 1996, and was based in San Francisco before moving to Boston in 2001.
Most recently, Arnold has been reporting on financial challenges facing millions of working and middle class Americans as the economy continues to recover from the worst recession in generations. He won the National Association of Consumer Advocates award for Investigative Journalism for a series of stories he reported with ProPublica that exposed improper debt collection practices by non-profit hospitals who were suing thousands of their low-income patients.
Arnold is now serving as the lead reporter and editor for the ongoing NPR series "Your Money and Your Life" which explores personal finance issues. As part of that, he's reporting on the problem of Wall Street firms charging excessive fees in retirement accounts: fees that siphon billions of dollars annually from Americans trying to save for the future.
Following the 2008 financial crisis and collapse of the housing market, Arnold reported on problems within the nation's largest banks that led to the banks improperly foreclosing on thousands of American homeowners. For this work, Arnold earned a 2011 Edward R. Murrow Award for the special series, The Foreclosure Nightmare. He's also been honored with the Newspaper Guild's 2009 Heywood Broun Award for broadcast journalism. And he was a finalist for the Scripps Howard Foundation's National Journalism Award.
Arnold was chosen for a Nieman Journalism Fellowship at Harvard University during the 2012-2013 academic year. He joined a small group of other journalists from the U.S. and abroad and studied economics, leadership, and the future of journalism in the digital age. Arnold also teaches Radio Journalism as a Lecturer at Yale University. And he was named a Poynter Fellow by Yale in 2016.
Over his career at NPR, Arnold has covered a range of other subjects – from Katrina recovery in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, to immigrant workers in the fishing industry, to a new kind of table saw that won't cut your fingers off. He traveled to Turin, Italy, for NPR's coverage of the 2006 Winter Olympics. He has also followed the dramatic rise in the numbers of teenagers abusing the powerful and highly addictive painkiller Oxycontin.
In the days and months following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Arnold reported from New York and contributed to the NPR coverage that won the Overseas Press Club and the George Foster Peabody Awards. He chronicled the recovery effort at Ground Zero, focusing on members of the Port Authority Police department, as they struggled with the deaths of 37 officers – the greatest loss of any police department in U.S. history.
Prior to his move to Boston, Arnold traveled the country for NPR doing feature stories on entrepreneurship. His pieces covered technologists, farmers, and family business owners. He also reported on efforts to kindle entrepreneurship in economically disadvantaged areas ranging from inner-city Los Angeles to the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota.
Arnold has worked in public radio since 1993. Before joining NPR, he was a freelance reporter working out of San Francisco's NPR Member Station, KQED.

Hello! My name is Liz—welcome to my quest of collecting one million photos to document my journey through this vast, beautiful, diverse, and complex world that we live in.
I spent my childhood moving around small towns in the Midwest. After completing high school in Minnesota, I relocated to St. Louis, Missouri to attend college. I spent the second semester of my sophomore year in Haifa, Israel which solidified my love of travel my passion for new cultures.
After college, I took a job teaching English at a private school in Anyang, South Korea. After two and a half years of living and working in Asia, I decided it was time to come home to the United States and lay down some roots.
I had the opportunity to move to Seattle and fell in love with the mountains, the ocean, the food, and my husband, Tom. My life in the Pacific Northwest has allowed me to pursue my many passions including my rescue dog, Rico, photography, hiking, scuba diving, cooking, gummy candy, sugar cookies, coffee, tea, running, art in all forms, and travel.

Kathleen Parker: Political correctness runs amok, again
Just when you thought American higher learning couldn't get any more ridiculous, along come demands for warning labels on provocative works of literature.
One never knows when a sentence or word might trigger some buried memory or traumatic experience. Life is a veritable assault on the excessively sensitive, but somehow most of us muddle through.
But literature, apparently, is fair game for those tortured souls who fear that some -ism or another might leap from a page, causing what exactly? A moment of discomfort? An opportunity to sort through one's emotional attic? Or, heavens, exposure to an involuntary insight?
Several schools (including Oberlin College, Rutgers University, George Washington University and the University of Michigan) are toiling with these very questions as students have begun requesting "trigger warnings" on books and syllabuses.
"Warning: This book includes a rape scene," for example, would warn rape victims lest they be traumatized by the contents.
Mightn't students Google a book in advance of reading if they're so fearful of a psychological crisis? One is surprised that student organizers at these schools would use such a loaded word as "trigger," given its obvious association with guns.
Without making light of anyone's ethnicity, race or trauma, especially rape or stress disorder suffered by veterans, such precautions are misplaced in an institution of higher learning where one is expected to be intellectually challenged and where one's psychological challenges are expected to be managed elsewhere.
There are, besides, other ways to inform oneself about a course or literary assignment that might be problematic for whatever reason. Then again, if reading "The Great Gatsby" causes one undue angst owing to its abuse, classism and sexism, then one might consider that college is not the right place at the right time.
Moreover, part of literary criticism is understanding the historical context of a given work. Thus, when the egregiously offensive N-word appears in the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," is it too much to ask that readers reflect upon the word's usage when Mark Twain wrote the book?
Within that understanding is a world of learning, from the history of race to the evolution of language. Instead, we are enslaved to "responsible pedagogical practice," as one sympathetic faculty member put it. Thus, a draft guide at Oberlin College suggests flagging anything that could "disrupt a student's learning" or "cause trauma":
"Be aware of racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, cissexism (transgender discrimination), ableism and other issues of privilege and oppression. Realize that all forms of violence are traumatic, and that your students have lives before and outside your classroom, experiences you may not expect or understand."
I don't know about you, but I'm suffering acute trauma caused by being trapped in a world full of (you say it, not me). What is the -ism that refers to discrimination against relatively sane people who can read "The Merchant of Venice" without a therapist on speed dial? Normalism? But then, this would be offensive to people who are ...
The mind left free to wander happens upon a vacant building that used to house thousands of volumes. Now a museum, it was once called a library. Which is to say, a list of books that might be offensive to someone, or cause one to ponder the universe beyond one's personal experience, would be so long as to make libraries obsolete. Most if not all of Shakespeare and the Greek tragedies would require so many labels they'd look like a Prius in Portland.
Lest I leave anyone unoffended, studying at the adult level in an institution of higher learning isn't supposed to make one feel good, or necessarily bad. It is to make one feel challenged, excited by new ideas, elevated by fresh insights, broadened by others' perspectives.
Obviously, one should be sensitive but also sensible. We also might expect that professors, guided by their own educations, common sense and goodwill, might mention the potential to find some words or expressions disturbing. But requiring labels on books is the busywork of smallish minds — yet another numbing example of political correctness run amok and the infantilizing of education in the service of overreaching sensitivity.

Cowboys WR Bryant heeding advice, rolling along
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Dallas coach Jason Garrett implores Dez Bryant to run "north and south" with the ball. The Cowboys receiver is listening and his career sure seems headed a lot more north than south these days.
Bryant's first catch Sunday at Cincinnati (7-5) could get the Dallas receiver to 1,000 yards for the first time as a pro. The past four games, he scored in each one and had the same career high in yards twice.
On the go-ahead touchdown last weekend against Philadelphia, Garrett called for Bryant to get the ball on a screen pass 6 yards from the end zone. The only way in was "north and south," and Bryant ran through a defender at the goal line, just inside the pylon.
"Dez is growing before our eyes," Garrett said after the 38-33 victory.
That score was actually the second time Bryant heeded his coach's words against the Eagles. The first wasn't planned, though. Tony Romo scrambled to his right and turned back to see Bryant wide open across the field. Bryant did a little weaving on that 23-yard score, but mostly headed in the direction Garrett prefers and beat two defenders to the goal line.
"Tony, he believes in me and I want that to increase more," said Bryant, who has 978 yards and eight touchdowns and a career-high 145 yards in consecutive games against Cleveland and Washington. "It's all about focus and not losing composure. If he calls a play and I do what I'm supposed to do, it makes a difference."
One other play might have been more important than Bryant's two touchdowns.
Dallas trailed Philadelphia 27-24 midway through the fourth quarter and was facing third-and-2, which usually dictates Romo throwing a short pass to trusty tight end Jason Witten. Instead, Romo went deep down the sideline to Bryant, who outran Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie on the 35-yard catch. The screen pass for the score came four plays later.
"It's dictated off of me looking at the corner seeing where the leverage is," Romo said. "It's also dictated off of whether or not you feel comfortable with the guy who's over there ..."
Hold it right there, even though Romo did some more explaining.
Trust has been perceived as an issue for Romo with Bryant since character issues dropped the former Oklahoma State star low in the first round in the 2010 draft. There's been evidence, too — as recently as the fourth game this year against Chicago, when Bryant ran the wrong route and the Bears kick-started a blowout with an easy touchdown on the resulting interception.
Things appear to have changed quite a bit in two months.
"He's making less and less mistakes really every month that goes by," Romo said. "He's done a good job of locking in and focusing in practice. He's always worked hard."
There's other evidence that Bryant might be growing up.
For all the trouble of his first year in Dallas with lawsuits for unpaid bills and sagging pants at the mall, the most serious problem was a misdemeanor family violence arrest after a dispute with his mother over the summer. Last month, Bryant reached an agreement with prosecutors that could lead to dismissal of the charge.
A few days after the deal was announced, Bryant opened up to reporters, saying he needed to "change my act up" and that his relationship with his mother was strong "even after the fact."
"I think in so many ways Dez has matured," Garrett said. "I think he's just been more consistent throughout the game whether he gets the ball or whether he doesn't get the ball, running his routes, doing his job."
And running north and south. One of the lowest points for what Garrett might call the "dancing Dez" was an aborted punt return against the New York Giants that ended in a fumble and cost Bryant those return duties. Bryant made a mistake even trying to field the ball, then was moving sideways when the ball was stripped. The play came while Dallas was falling behind 23-0 in a 29-24 loss in late October.
"Sometimes when Dez gets in trouble, he starts kind of dancing too much and that plays a little bit into the defense's hand," Garrett said. "A lot more guys can get around him. I thought he did a good job (against the Eagles) of putting his foot in the ground and going north and south, splitting defenders and just getting into the end zone."
Bryant's third season is already the best of his career. He has a chance to make it a breakout year.

Can my tailbone pain be cured?
Every weekday, a CNNHealth expert doctor answers a viewer question. On Wednesdays, it's Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer at the American Cancer Society.
Asked by Will of Denver, Colorado
I am an average person - good health and slightly overweight. Last year on a dare/challenge from a friend I rode my bicycle 50 miles without any previous training. I successfully completed the 50 miles, although I had extreme pain in my tailbone following the ride. I assumed this was temporary and continued to live my life. However, a year or so later it still has pain when I sit down. I'm not sure where to start besides seeing my normal doctor. Is this something that can be cured or could I have done lifelong damage to my tailbone?
Dear Will,
I think you already know that strenuous exercise without proper preparation through training is not a good idea.
That being said, the medical term for pain in the tailbone is coccydynia. It is usually caused by trauma and it usually gets better with conservative therapy over a period of several weeks, but it can sometimes take several months for it to improve.
The coccyx is a projection at the base of the spine. It is made of bone, cartilage and fibers. The coccyx bears weight when a person is sitting.
Some of the muscles that control defecation attach to the coccyx, and there may be pain in the injured tailbone upon defecation and when tightening the anal sphincter.
There are no national incidence numbers for this condition, but pain in the tailbone is a rather common problem. A busy primary care doctor usually sees a few cases per year. It is far more prevalent in women than men. It is rare in children.
The most common cause is traumatic injury from a fall backwards into a sitting position. Other causes include repetitive minor trauma from sitting a long time. People not only get it from long bike rides, but from sitting in a car or plane for a prolonged period. Sitting on hard surfaces is more likely to cause it.
Women can get coccydynia through trauma during vaginal birthing.
Obesity is a major risk factor in men and women. The diagnosis of coccydynia is made through the patient's history of the pain and trauma and from physical examination.
On examination, the physician can usually reproduce the symptoms through direct pressure on the tailbone. Initial treatment is conservative, using nonsteroidal pain medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen; protection of the area with a donut or wedge pillow; and alternating applications of heat and cold packs.
Patients with pain after more than three months of good conservative therapy merit further evaluation which might include X-rays of the pelvis and tailbone.
A very few patients will need to be treated with injections of local anesthetic, or local anesthetic and steroids, directly into the tailbone area. In a very rare case of protracted pain without improvement, the tailbone can be surgically removed. This operation is called a coccygyectomy.

U.S. to Russia: Turn over Snowden or risk 'long-term problems'
The White House left no doubt on Tuesday that American patience with Russia playing host to NSA leaker Edward Snowden is wearing thin.
"The Russian government has an opportunity here to work with us," press secretary Jay Carney told reporters at his daily briefing. "This should not be something that causes long-term problems for U.S.-Russian relations."
Washington and Moscow have been "engaging on a number of important issues, both economic and security related issues, and we want to continue that relationship unimpeded by this issue," Carney added. By turning over Snowden, or at least expelling him, Russia could "resolve this situation that they have been dealing with now for three weeks."
Could the dispute over Snowden lead Obama to cancel his planned attendance at the Group of 20 summit in Russia? Carney did not close out that possibility. "The president intends to travel to Russia in September for the G20 summit. And I don't have any further announcements."
By the standards of diplo-speak, that's nearly a "frank and candid exchange of views" – code for an all out verbal fight.
"Our interest has always been in seeing him expelled from Russia and returned to the United States," Carney told reporters.
"He should not be allowed to engage in further international travel except as necessary to return to the United States," Carney said of Snowden, who is regarded in some quarters as a whistle-blower for disclosing the incredibly broad sweep of NSA spying on American citizens.
"He is not a human rights activist, he is not a dissident," Carney insisted. "He is accused of leaking classified information, he's been charged with three felony counts related to the leaking of classified information. And for those reasons he should be returned to the United States."
Carney's comments came after Snowden's lawyer asked Russia to give the former NSA contractor-turned-secrets-spiller temporary asylum, saying his client could face persecution and even torture or death.
Carney repeatedly underlined that Snowden, if handed over, "should be afforded every bit of due process here in the United States."

An eyewitness provides details about what was heard and seen before and after George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: Trayvon Martin
Well it going to ball down to voice recognition and someone that actually saw the shooting. If the state charge him on little evidence and no witness the state will lose and Zimmerman will probely sue and be a rich man. If the state is smart they still can charge him with involuntary manslaughter. Food for thought on how to solve this case. Zimmerman stated to the police that Trayvon had assaulted him. Well folks there should be some of Zimmerman DEA on Trayvon person specially his hands, finger nails and clothing for fibers. The police depatment didnt do a good job checking it. specially when they said Zimmerman head was shove into the ground. If there is no DEA on Trayvon the possiblty that the assualt didnt take place. The ploice department should be sanction for not checking.
Is it possible to slide from underneath someone leaving them face down?
Who was screaming for help?..........off cours it was Trayvon.....here's why; How could the larger man with a weapon be screaming for help and the smaller unarmed boy who was being killed remain silent?
I feel bad for all that has happen , God would want this matter handled, by those he placed in law postion , not decided by a state law. Someone was killed. A trail must take place . All facts must be presented. They did this in Jesus days . He should have been at lease arrested. What is fare justice coming to , in the whole world today . I fear the future for my granchildren , and yours. Everyone need to pray .
I still have trouble seeing how you can have all these eyewitnesses saying Trayvon was face down. You can't have someone fall face down in the situation described with Trayvon on top. I also find it troubling that I've yet to hear where the entry wound was (ie in the back or in the chest). At close range that should be easy enough to determine, even with a low-caliber gun. The only way I could see this as self defense is with Zimmerman on top and Trayvon ending up on the ground face up (ie shot in the chest while on top falling straight back), but seeing the face down being so consistently reported through every witness, this makes me think Zimmerman pinned him down and shot him in the back. The only real way to have Trayvon on his back with self defense an admissible claim would be both men standing and Trayvon attempting to take Zimmerman down, and Zimmerman firing down towards the ground (hitting Trayvon in the back and putting him on the ground face down). Would not want to be on the jury in the eventual trial >_>
Does Zimmerman have an active injunction against him..?... If he does he is not allowed to "carry or posses weapons/firearms"......and if he indeed violated a condition of the injunction why hasn't he been to court for that?
Since Zimmerman did'nt live or work security in that gated community...he was technically trespassing when he shot Trayvon. Zimmerman would have been the first to notice the ice tea and skittles which posed no threat. The person it seems had less opportunity to avoid the conflict was Trayvon. The 911 call showed the Zimmerman held acrimony towards the kid with out knowing anything about him besides the fact that he was african-american. Any injury sustained by Zimmerman ...in no way solidifies his claim of self defence. When a victim is in a life and death struggle with an attacker..it is pretty common that they'll leave marks scrapes and bruises on the attacker.Experts are saying with certainty that it was not Zimmerman screaming for help. Since Zimmerman was so enthusiastic about becoming Law Enforcement ..he is more than likely trained in firearm use....how to carry,draw,and discharge..ect. He also worked for a security firm. People don't usually go through all that to scream for help.
Its not trespassing if lived in the complex- the sidewalks are a common area. Actually, evidence of injury DOES support the possibility of Zimmerman's claim of self defense. Allowing an aggressive person to get that close to you when you are in possession of a firearm indicates Zimmerman either didn't have proper training, or was caught by surprise. At a distance, in the dark, while it is raining, with someone concealing their face with a hoodie, in a neighborhood that had had numerous break ins, it isn't really that strange that a resident of the complex might follow a suspicious character. It was dangerous, sure, and stupid, but not illegal. According to Trayvon's girlfriend, it was Trayvon that first turned and confronted Zimmerman. If Zimmerman already had his gun out, Trayvon probably wouldn't have rushed him, or if he did, would not have gotten close enough to grab him. Who screamed for help is really irrelevant. Its possible that Trayvon had the upper hand, and screamed for help when he realized that Zimmerman had a gun. Too late then.
What I'm interested in are the photographs of Zimmerman's injuries. That would cinch it.
Clarence – In case you were unaware, during the 911 call the dispatcher asked Zimmerman if the guy was white, black, or mexican, hence the reason he made the statement on the call. He wasnt on the phone just spouting off that the guy was african american. For pete sake, you make it sound like Zimmerman just called and said there is a suspicous african american man walking around in the rain, when in fact he was queried by the dispatcher for that statement.
Actually the recording pretty clearly shows that the term used was "Fu**ing Coon" so yes he was volunteering the information that not only was it an african american but that he was profiling him and a bigot to boot.

Data Source: Academic Citation Index (ACI)
As Taiwan's largest Citation Index, we currently have on record all Humanities, and Sociology journals that were published in Taiwan. The number of periodicals that are published on a regular basis total around 400 different types. If periodicals that were added to the collection but then halted are counted as well, the number of periodicals total over 500 types.

Impact Factor: The statistic indicating the average number of times a journal's articles published in the past two years have been cited in the counting year.
Formula: (Number of cites in counting year to articles published in the span of two years ) ÷ (Number of articles published in the span of two years)
Example: The impact factor in 2010 (determined in 2011)
In 2009, Journal A published 15 articles, and these 15 articles were cited 20 times in 2010.
In 2008, Journal A published 16 articles, and these 16 articles were cited 30 times in 2010.
→ →2010's Impact Factor = (20+30) ÷ (15+16) = 1.61 =(20+30)÷(15+16)≒1.61

SpaceX Launches into Orbit, Pursues International Space Station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The home of the Kennedy Space Center lit up on Sunday after a commercial cargo ship rocketed into orbit in pursuit of the International Space Station, the first of a dozen supply runs under a mega-contract with NASA.
It was the second launch of a Dragon capsule to the orbiting lab by the California-based SpaceX company. The first was last spring.
This time was no test flight, however, and the spacecraft carried 1,000 pounds of key science experiments and other precious gear on this truly operational mission. There was also a personal touch: chocolate-vanilla swirl ice cream tucked in a freezer for the three station residents.
The company's unmanned Falcon rocket roared into the night sky right on time, putting SpaceX on track to reach the space station Wednesday. The complex was soaring southwest of Tasmania when the Falcon took flight.
Officials declared the launch a success, despite a problem with one of the nine first-stage engines. The rocket put Dragon in its intended orbit, said the billionaire founder and chief executive officer of SpaceX, Elon Musk.
"It's driving its way to station, so that's just awesome," noted SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell.
In more good news, a piece of space junk was no longer threatening the station, and NASA could focus entirely on the delivery mission.
NASA is counting on private business to restock the space station, now that the shuttles have retired to museums. The space agency has a $1.6 billion contract with SpaceX for 12 resupply missions.
Especially exciting for NASA is the fact that the Dragon will return twice as much cargo as it took up, including a stockpile of astronauts' blood and urine samples. The samples — nearly 500 of them — have been stashed in freezers since Atlantis made the last shuttle flight in July 2011.
The Dragon will spend close to three weeks at the space station before being released and parachuting into the Pacific at the end of October. By then, the space station should be back up to a full crew of six.
None of the Russian, European or Japanese cargo ships can bring anything back; they're destroyed during re-entry. The Russian Soyuz crew capsules have limited room for anything besides people.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX — owned by PayPal co-founder Musk — is working to convert its unmanned Dragon capsules into vessels that could carry astronauts to the space station in three years. Other U.S. companies also are vying to carry crews. Americans must ride Russian rockets to orbit in the meantime, for a steep price.
Musk, who monitored the launch from SpaceX Mission Control in Hawthorne, Calif., called the capsules Dragon after the magical Puff to get back at critics who, a decade ago, considered his effort a fantasy. The name Falcon comes from the Millennium Falcon starship of "Star Wars" fame.
An estimated 2,400 guests jammed the launching center to see the Falcon, with its Dragon, come to life for SpaceX's first official, operational supply mission.
Across the country at SpaceX headquarters, about 1,000 employees watched via TV and webcast.
It was no apparition.
"Just over a year after the retirement of the space shuttle, we have returned space station cargo resupply missions to U.S. soil," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden Jr.
SpaceX is shooting for its next supply run in January.
Another company looking to haul space station cargo, Virginia's Orbital Sciences Corp., hopes to launch a solo test flight in December and a demo mission to the station early next year.
Every time SpaceX or a competitor flies successfully, Bolden told reporters, "that gives the nonbelievers one more opportunity to get on board and root for us" and help enable commercial launches for space station astronauts. This will further free NASA up to aim for points beyond low-Earth orbit, like Mars.
"This was a big night," Bolden concluded.

5 dead, 3 injured in cruise ship accident in Spain
- Five people dead and three injured after a life boat fell into the sea
- The crew was conducting an emergency drill at the time of incident
- The cruise ship was docked at the pier in La Palma in Spain%27s Canary Islands
LA PALMA, Canary Islands (AP) — A lifeboat being used on a safety drill aboard a cruise ship in Spain's Canary Islands fell about 65 feet into a port on Sunday when a cable snapped, trapping crew members beneath it and killing five of them, officials said.
None of the hundreds of passengers aboard the British-operated vessel were involved in the accident, which also injured three crew members, said the Canary Islands port authority.
Divers raced to the lifeboat, which had hit the water upside down, recovering four bodies and trying without success to revive a fifth crewman who had stopped breathing, the authority said.
Thomson Cruises confirmed the accident and the casualties aboard its Thomson Majesty ship on the island of La Palma, saying the three injured crewmen were not badly hurt.
The ship docked at the island's port of Santa Cruz in the morning, after arriving there from the neighboring island of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It was due to depart at 3 p.m. for Funchal on the mid-Atlantic island of Madeira with 1,498 passengers and 594 crew aboard, the authority said.
At 10:30 a.m. a drill consisting of lowering a lifeboat with crew members aboard began.
About an hour later, when the lifeboat was being hoisted back up to the deck, a cable holding it snapped and a hook holding the lifeboat on a second cable gave way, sending the lifeboat plunging into the port upside down, the authority said in a statement.
An alarm was sounded and port authorities were alerted. The captain of the cruise ship called for the divers who arrived at the capsized lifeboat.
The dead crewmen included three Indonesians, a Filipino and a Ghanian, authorities said. The three injured crew members were taken by ambulance to a hospital in La Palma and the nationality of only one of them was immediately known: Greek.
Local authorities of La Palma canceled Carnival festivities that had been due to be held on the island Sunday, but said they would go ahead as planned on Monday.
Associated Press writers Harold Heckle in Madrid, and Sylvia Hui in London, contributed to this report.
